Hmm .. Rupanyup, pop. 624 according to Wikipedia. If we want to run with that analogy, isn't that like saying you've been seiging Minimus for the past 15 years and finally ticked it?

That's true, but Minimus as being seiged by a limbless, androgynous, torso with reduced brain function and bad breath.

THAT is a stunning mental image! Yet another reason chocky needs a "like" button!

I'm afraid that analogy has no bearing on reality... Kalkee have a population of 0 as far as I know (it is a place 17km outside of Horsham that consists of a football oval and a car race track) and yet they have won the last 5 premierships and this season have recruited even more good players.

Every season sees tens of thousands of dollars thrown around (by each club!) in an effort to attract footballers. If you think country footy only involves a bunch of guys from one local town rocking up on a Saturday to play a neighbouring town, think again.

So in other words its inevitable that we'll soon be hearing of a doping scandal involving country football players being injected with a variety of performance enhancing substances such as sheep's brain and goat's testicles?!

Performance enhancing drugs are already a part of lower grade footy. They just can't afford to test for it like in AFL. If there was a drug that could make me mark and kick better, I would probably take it too.

Added bonus for you then that I don't climb in cold weather, so those boobs aren't covered up by 30 layers of clothing! Really, you should change your season preference, there'd be a lot more boob appreciation to be had all round. Sadly, I don't think a trad climbing club is the way forward for hot bod appreciation. They all sensibly cover up against the sun and getting mauled by rock and vegetation alike. Tropical sport climbing club would fit that bill a lot better.

See, this is one of those great hypocrisies where I'm allowed to take part in sexist banter about myself because I'm choosing to participate. If those women wanted to participate in banter about being fat, feral and available, well, all the best to them. Slightly different context and intentions though. Damo only throws that shit in to shock. Much more fun to play with it than jump up and down about it. Besides, as I make him climb in conditions he'd otherwise consider too hot, he inevitably takes his shirt off and that's good distraction from the silly hat ...
